[Verses]

(same as intro)

 

A           D        G     D

Breath and burning

       A        D      G   D

We are made of sand

A       D          G       D

Slowly turning

       A           D      G    D

At the wave's command

    A               D       G     D

And what does it matter

         A          D         G     D

That the nightmares all came true

    A                D          G         D

The black crowds are scattered across the sky

            A       D             G       D

And there's nothing left we can do

    D

But celebrate while the hurricane

       A

Throws salt and water into the room

      D

The canary died, the healer lied

    A

The yellow fields disappeared too soon

D

Mid-air voltage blooms and grows

  A

Unstoppable, it’s instant heat

       D

And as sinners plea on bended knee

         E

We’ll be dancing here for days

 

A D G D (x4)

Breath and burning

We are made of sand

A       D          G       D

Slowly turning

       A         D      G    D

At the wave's command

    A              D       G     D

And what does it matter

         A           D        G     D

That the end’s in sight

      A           D        G     D

We’re not going gently

            A           D           G            D

We’re gonna rage with Page at the dying of the light

Hey!

     D

The sudden unexpected fate

   A

Of sunken ships was our future path

     D

Your string of beads did nothing to

A

Prepare for you what was sure to pass

D

Shadow wheels in shipping lanes

    A

The angry winds blew straight from hell

        D                                  E

And the tourtise pulls its head inside its shell

It’ll be over soon

    A               D       G     D

Our head’s on a platter

         A             D          G       D

So let’s spin in the light of the moon

         A        D            G       D

We still got the light of the moon

      A             D            G       D

We’ll dance in the light of the moon

Hey!
